"The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / 26.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced
in the USN-8891-1 advisory.
It was discovered that librsvg incorrectly handled duplicate XML entity declarations while processing SVG
documents containing nested XML inclusions. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
service or execute arbitrary code.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
